OM - Not Guilty
"Father, I didn't do anything at all!"
"I know, child, but I warned you of this." Evelia's father hugged her impulsively, tightly, almost afraid to let her go. "I gave my blessing for you to marry although your dowry was rather small because I knew that the stranger to our land was wealthy. He would be able to protect you, to take care of you." He cupped her chin and forced her to look up at him. "But daughter, there have been mysterious deaths lately. I warned you of this."
Tears filled her eyes. "Father, I did not do anything! I did not kill those people! They might have died from natural causes…"
"True," he agreed, "but we cannot prove that. You've been branded a witch and for that, you must run. Leave Griogair Colville and run for your life."
She shook her head. Evelia loved Griogair, and no matter what, she would not abandon him despite the troubles coming her way. "Father…"
Her father placed a finger on her lips, hushing her and eying her carefully. "No. You listen to me, Evelia Synclare, you must take your things and leave this place. Leave this man, leave… me." He brushed some hair that had managed to come loose and she noticed the tears in his eyes that matched her own. "Go. Now. And don’t ever come back."
Evelia nodded and kissed her father's cheek. He had packed a few meager things for her since the majority of her belongings were at Griogair's estate due to their upcoming wedding, so she grabbed the small bag and sighed. "This is not goodbye, Father."
As she left, she did not look back. She ran all the way to see her beloved, for surely, he would have a better plan than to leave the people she loved forever. He would save her… somehow.
